Artist in Residence program
Southwest Arkansas Arts Council/Arkansas Arts Council Artist in Residence Norris Chee worked with
Kendrick Adams’ art classes at Hope High School recently to produce tee shirt art reflecting nature and
outdoor themes. Adams’ students produced stenciled master designs which Chee painted onto a white
tee shirt using airbrush artistry. A native Navajo by ancestry, Chee not only produces airbrush art but is
extensively involved in acrylic on canvas works depicting Southwest Native American themes. Chee
participates in the program through the SWAAC Arts In Education partnership with the Hope Public
Schools– Ken McLemore/Hope Public Schools
